 people's selflessness; it will be their keenest joy. 
 
PREAMBLE 
 
/ am the Spirit of the Unborn. 
 I come to plead for better bo- 
 dies, in which I wish to live. 
 
THE SPIRIT OF THE UNBORN 
 
 I am the Spirit of the Unborn ! 
 
 I am the Spirit of all the unborn children 
 of all the world. I am their sum total. 
 Each one of them is a particle of Me. 
 
 I come to call upon the parents of today 
 and of tomorrow, with a plea for Purity. 
 
 But not alone to those do I direct My call. 
 
 For in younger people, too who know 
 not yet if they ever will be parents there 
 is impurity which, by its subtleness, hampers 
 My true expression. 
 
 And not only to the living is My plea, but 
 to the dead as well. For in their future 
 shall they live again on earth; and in their 
 earth life may become parents. 
 
 11 
 
Hence: to all I speak. To all humanity 
 My Voice goes out. 
 
 Still your desires and listen to My 
 Voice! 
 
THE COMING RACE 
 
 I am here to beseech you to prepare for 
 Me, the Spirit of the unborn children of the 
 Coming Race. 
 
 I am the One and only One who repre- 
 sents them all. For I am He who is in the 
 heart of all. 
 
 In behalf of the children of the New 
 Race shall I speak in this book: especially 
 for their sake is the Purity required for which 
 I plead. Never shall one of them become 
 the child of any parent who is not in every 
 way pure. 
 
 You, who do not wish to purify your- 
 selves you may still beget children if you 
 so desire; but you will have to be satisfied 
 
 It 
 
with whatever child may come to your home : 
 to the impure parent no pure and highly 
 evolved child can ever again be born. Into 
 the home of you who are impure and selfish 
 can come only the ones who have not reached 
 the stage where they can form a part of the 
 New Race! 
 
 But not to you, O parents who are pure 
 and unselfish, will anyone ever come who is 
 not worthy of yourselves. Never shall you 
 give birth to a child which is not all that 
 can be expected of the Future Race all that 
 is to be realized by it. 
 
 Only if the parents of the present race will 
 purify their bodies and their habits, their 
 emotions and their thoughts, can I, in My 
 new bodies, express those qualities which 
 will make the earth a heaven, and life an 
 eternal bliss. 
 
 I the Spirit of the Unborn have come 
 to call together the parents of the New 
 Race! 
 
 The time is nigh in which to divide the 
 
 14 
 
people of the world into those who are pre- 
 pared to establish My New Race, and into 
 those who are not yet ready. 
 
 I come! 
 
 And listen, ye who long for beauty in your 
 children: once more I call! 
 
THE PLEA FOR PURITY 
 
He, still impure, shall not despair. 
 
 He, who is pure, shall not despise. 
 
 He, who but strives, stands closer 
 to the gateway which admits to My 
 New Race, than ail who having 
 seemingly attained still criticize and 
 condemn. 
 
PURITY FROM PASSION 
 
 Over the world of men over the cities, 
 and wherever men have made their homes 
 there hangs a cloud, a muddy, viscid, astral 
 cloud of sensuality. 
 
 Looking out over the earth from My pure 
 spiritual realm, I see the globe enveloped in 
 a red-brown-colored fog which men have 
 emanated. 
 
 From hour to hour seems the foul mist to 
 be growing thicker, its sickening stench ever 
 more pernicious caused by the continuity 
 of sensual actions, sensual talk and sensual 
 thoughts of men. 
 
 Into that cloud / must descend t 
 
Through that almost impassable barrier 
 I, Spirit of the Unborn, must go to find 
 new incarnation! 
 
 How tarnished by its filthy stain before 
 I reach the earth can you expect Me to find 
 adequate bodies, fit for My pure expression, 
 fit for the Coming Race? 
 
 Watchfully am I waiting for possibilities 
 to incarnate in purer bodies, conceived by 
 parents who live in purity .... even 
 though married. 
 
 Marriage the sacred bond of love, to 
 which I looked for an opportunity to find 
 bodies created in purity what have men 
 made of it? It has been desecrated, de- 
 graded into an institution of legalized im- 
 morality, debased by habitual seeking of 
 carnal satisfaction. 
 
 This must be changed, if you want Me to 
 come ! Only in pure bodies can I take birth 
 /, the Spirit of the Race of the Future. 
 
 Creative power should be used by you for 
 My sake: that I may find new bodies, in 
 
 -22 
 
which to manifest the best and highest that 
 is in Me! 
 
 Creative energy is the godliest part of 
 you ; in it lies not alone your semblance with 
 the Divine, but your own Divinity! 
 
 Therefore : abuse it not! 
 
 What have you done with it? 
 
 What are you doing with it? 
 
 Answer these questions to yourself, in per- 
 fect honesty. I know the answer without 
 your telling Me ; for from My World I can 
 observe the most hidden facts in yours. 
 
 That you yourself may think, and for your- 
 self may know, and not rush thoughtlessly 
 along in the customary rut .... this is the 
 purpose of My asking you : 
 
 Can I come to you, and find in you the 
 Purity which for My full expression I do so 
 urgently need? Or will the atmosphere 
 around you, too, suffocate Me? 
 
 Am I too personal, too rigorous in the 
 way in which I tear the bandages from a 
 
filthy sore on present humanity .... even 
 if not on you? 
 
 Stop listening to Me, if you wish. 
 
 But then: never complain about the con- 
 sequences of your indocility, of your persis- 
 tence in willful ignorance. And know : / see 
 I see every act of yours, of past and pres- 
 ent .... and of future possibilities, too. 
 And it is because I see a probability of your 
 carefully considering these words of your 
 living up to them that I find it worth My 
 while to come and speak to you, just in the 
 way I do. 
 
 / see! 
 
 And what are the acts that I have to look 
 upon? 
 
 Waste of creative energy, by old and 
 young .... even by the very young! 
 
 Whose fault is this? Who is to blame for 
 the alarming spread of self-abuse and im- 
 morality amongst young children ? 
 
 Your fault, O parents, who are not living 
 My Purity! Your fault, O men and women, 
 
 -24 
 
all you of mature age, who fill the atmos- 
 phere with emanations of your impurity. On 
 others it reacts, what you send forth in acts, 
 emotions, thoughts. And tender youth is ex- 
 tremely sensitive; by it your influence is the 
 most readily caught. 
 
 You are the ones to blame ! 
 
 You, who have children do you remem- 
 ber with what motive you have called them 
 forth? Was it with thoughts of love for 
 those who might come to you ? Or thought- 
 lessly, ruled by your passion, in sense-grati- 
 fication? 
 
 And as, within its sanctuary, the body was 
 being builded have you respected the sac- 
 redness of its development? Or is it true in 
 your case, too: that many an illegitimate 
 was conceived in greater love and in greater 
 purity than the children of you who scorn? 
 
 Born of sin of 'the sin against the Holy 
 Ghost', as it has been rightly called most 
 children grow up, breathing in and absorb- 
 ing the baneful influence of the (be it ever 
 
so hidden) sensuality in acts and thoughts of 
 their surroundings. 
 
 Thus, sensuality is stimulated in them. 
 Uncautioned for who will caution them? 
 lacking true knowledge about the most vital 
 things, they are permitted to indulge in fatal, 
 secret sins. 
 
 As a result: the weaklings, seeking what 
 they call 'pleasure', in a prostitution of them- 
 selves and of others .... All at the cost 
 of Me! 
 
 For wherever they go, the cloud of sen- 
 suality becomes always darker, and more im- 
 penetrable. Wherever they go, there is no 
 place for Me! Their very exhalations would 
 tend to smother Me. 
 
 And, sad to say: the greater part of to- 
 day's humanity are they! 
 
 Therefore, I call and call, and call again 
 for greater Purity. 
 
 But very few there are who seriously 
 listen. And fewer still are they who are 
 willing to enlist in My army, which with in- 
 tense determination will work for Purity 
 preparing the way for Me, the Spirit of the 
 
 26 
 
Unborn. 
 
 Patiently am I watching for rents in the 
 stifling cloud which anyone can make who 
 strives for Purity. 
 
 Each one who tries can, to begin with, stop 
 adding new material to the hideous, qualmy 
 cloud. Each one who goes on striving, can 
 become like a little sun, a radiating center of 
 luminous Purity, and pierce that ghastly 
 cloud. 
 
 From My World I cannot shatter it; for 
 it is a hopeless task to cleanse and purify 
 where men continually sully. 
 
 But whenever anyone in your world tries, 
 / see it, and rejoice and to him goes My 
 help. And with My help his strength will 
 grow, enabling him to make an opening 
 through which I can come down to find un- 
 hampered expression .... be it in his chil- 
 dren, or, if possible: in him! 
 
 I, the Spirit of the New Race, have come 
 to plead with you: not only that in those 
 who are yet to be born you shall offer usable 
 instruments for Me but that in you your* 
 
self, I with My qualities, may find expres- 
 sion; in order that you, too, may be worthy 
 to be chosen for the Coming Race! 
 
 I plead for Purity in every possible way. 
 
 In the first place : for purity of sex life 
 for a pure use of all creative powers, for 
 creation only. 
 
 Stop wasting your divinest energy in self- 
 gratification of the lowest, coarsest kind! 
 Transmute it, when not needed for the crea- 
 tion of new bodies, into the power of creat- 
 ing uplifting words, ennobling thoughts, 
 with which to help the world. Apply your 
 generative powers to the regeneration of 
 your own bodies. Then can I, the Spirit of 
 the New Race, be born within you! 
 
 To men and women, and to all young peo- 
 ple is My call, My plea for Purity! 
 
 Help Me, each one of you. Become a 
 ray of spotless Purity, around which the 
 cloud of sensuality cannot remain in exist- 
 ence. 
 
 Passion the cause sown in the past, re- 
 
suiting now in painful child-birth, endless 
 physical disorders and mental abnormalities 
 is going on to cause still worse afflictions 
 .... till it is conquered. Passion is the 
 abnormally stimulated divine impulse 
 grown beyond control by vicious habit, by 
 continued undue thought. You are its slave 
 because you yourself have given it a power 
 over you. 
 
 Do not place the blame on your Creator 
 for it all! You have yourself developed 
 this natural force into an artificial abnor- 
 mality. Now, you yourself will have to con- 
 quer it. This, you each one of you must 
 do, before you will be ready to receive Me. 
 
 Where you wish Me to come and build a 
 body, even the sowing of the seed should 
 take place without passion. Just as the 
 pleasure of intoxicants, and of strongly 
 seasoned food, is apt to naturally vanish 
 when a person purifies his ways of living and 
 of thinking so will the passionate satisfac- 
 tion of sexual intercourse entirely fall away 
 from him who travels on the road towards 
 perfect Purity. 
 
 29 
 
The Coming Race, rising above the domi- 
 nation of the senses, will know no pas- 
 sion; it will have acquired and live that 
 purer, greater love which seeks no bodily 
 gratification. Only for love's sake, for the 
 love of the yet unborn, will the New Race 
 fulfill nature's most holy function giving to 
 the to-be-incarnated souls the highest it can 
 give, 
 
 Free yourself from passion 1 
 
 Thus will you help yourself, as well as 
 help Me. For with every step you take 
 towards greater Purity, a greater joy abun- 
 dant, pure, and lasting joy awaits you. 
 
PURITY FROM CRIME 
 
 Freedom from crime I want, wherever I 
 come down! 
 
 Not alone from what you at the present 
 time think of as crime but from what I, 
 the Spirit of the New Race, consider to be 
 such. 
 
 Acts that are now called criminal are but 
 the coarsest instances of what is criminal in 
 My terminology. 
 
 Millions of people now will disagree with 
 Me, But all will share My viewpoint .... 
 when they themselves are ready to become 
 members of the Race of the Future when 
 they have climbed to where they can mani- 
 fest Me. 
 
As long as you are of a different opinion, 
 you are not quite ready for Me ! 
 
 As long as you go on killing, or have 
 creatures killed for you you cannot be ac- 
 cepted in My soon-coming Race. 
 
 I need bodies, unstained by bloodshed, un- 
 blemished in every way. Nor may there be 
 a trace of cruelty in the hearts in which I 
 shall be born ! 
 
 No slaughtering shall there be where / go 1 
 For slaughtering, even for food, is a break- 
 ing of My Law which is the Law of Love. 
 
 You, who think it necessary because you 
 do not think; you, who do not like to think 
 about it because you like it so much; you, 
 who fill your stomach with corpses for fear 
 of becoming one know this: that the soul 
 of every creature which is killed by, or for 
 you, sets up an obstacle on the road between 
 you and Me ! 
 
 No matter what you are devouring: be it 
 meat or fish or fowl I consider you a crim- 
 inal, your food impure and foul. 
 
 32 
 
Think/ 
 
 Think how you value life's manifestation 
 in yourself. So does each thing that lives! 
 Think of the wondrous structure which na- 
 ture has built up even in the smallest crea- 
 ture which you unnecessarily, as many a 
 one can prove are chewing as a food. 
 
 Think! Think yourself now into its con- 
 sciousness. Look through its eyes those 
 beautiful, pure eyes, through which Life 
 (which is God) looks out into the world. 
 
 Feel the death blow that strikes it if it 
 is not tortured by pitiless proceedings, such 
 as being slowly bled to death, or boiled or 
 skinned alive .... in order that your 
 palate may be tickled by more 'delicious' 
 food ! Then feel its fear and hatred against 
 humanity which do go out into the atmos- 
 phere and must react on man, in the form of 
 suffering. 
 
 Much of your suffering against which 
 you are rebellious, and which you call unjust 
 may be the consequence of your own 
 slaughtering in the near or distant past. 
 
 33 
 
Know : there is no injustice in the universe ! 
 What comes to you, you have caused; what 
 you now do to others, by deed or word or 
 thought, will react on you, some time. 
 
 You say, you never kill but have it 
 done for you ? Then, twofold is your crime ! 
 First, you are guilty of the death you cause; 
 and thoughtlessly, I suppose you encour- 
 age cruelty in some of your fellowmen, im- 
 pelling them to deeds for which they, in their 
 future, have to suffer. Both will react on 
 you! 
 
 I know your reasoning: something must 
 be destroyed to keep your body fed. But in 
 your power it is, to bring destruction down 
 to the less evolved things to cause less, 
 ever less suffering. Even the killing of the 
 vegetable kingdom can be avoided, if you 
 will it so : when your compassion grows and 
 takes that in. For on the fruit of assiduous 
 plants man can exist. 
 
 It is for you to expand your love; so will 
 you find that without slaughtering, you yet 
 can 
 
 34 
 
No you need not fear that cattle and 
 game will be so plentiful (when not killed off 
 by you) that they will overrun your gardens 
 and your cities and your homes. Nor will 
 they take your food. 
 
 Love, as the basis of your attitude and ac- 
 tions, will never bring ill to you. Love is 
 the basis of Creation, the fundamental Law 
 of the whole universe. Where love is lived, 
 this Law itself is set in motion to adjust con- 
 ditions and to harmonize all things. 
 
 Vwisectionf I shudder when I think of it! 
 
 How is it possible that man could be so 
 misled by mental fallacies, that he commits 
 even indulges in this scientific crime? 
 
 Man in your hands was placed the care 
 of the dumb, defenseless creatures, to lead 
 them, lift them up to a more highly evolved 
 stage. They are your younger brothers all 
 of one family in the Creator's mind. 
 
 You stand accused of crime I 
 
 For you have not alone enslaved, ill- 
 
treated, and exploited the helpless ones for 
 selfish purposes but starved, and frozen 
 alive, sliced, ripped and sawed, burned, baked 
 and butchered, scalded and scalped God's 
 living creatures. Unscrupulously dabbling in 
 the blood and agony of sentient, sensitive 
 beings, you have caused excruciating pain by 
 the cowardly and cursed practice of vivisec- 
 tion. 
 
 Instead of older brothers, loving guides, 
 you have been vicious brutes and monstrous 
 torturers. 
 
 This still goes on! 
 
 Pity the poor 'little ones' who, by the 
 thousands, serve the experiments. 
 
 But, after all, have more pity on those 
 deluded beings who make the experiments! 
 For the effects of their willful cruelty will 
 be terrible. No one can keep from them 
 what after death, and in other lives on 
 earth they shall experience. All acts re- 
 act such is the Law. By their own fright- 
 fulness, they have stored up great cause for 
 suffering. This must work out on them 
 that they, by suffering, may learn to spare, 
 
 -3 
 
and to protect all things that live. 
 
 Have pity on them! 
 
 But do not dodge your own responsibility. 
 For you yourself have helped are helping 
 yet, I fear to strengthen and encourage the 
 vivisector in his inhuman deeds. 
 
 By your own cruelty be it of ages past 
 you have created, in super-ethereal matter, 
 thought entities, which, gathered together, 
 intensify the experimenter's horrible inclina- 
 tions. Then, by your approbation, or by 
 protesting only half-heartedly, or by indif- 
 ference on this vital point, you are partakers 
 of the crime. 
 
 Do you approve of vivisection, because 
 you think (erroneously though it be) that it 
 helps to cure disease? Remember then: 
 pain and disease result from a breaking of 
 the Law, and cannot be overcome by break- 
 ing the Law again. The cosmic Law of Love 
 and Justice cannot be evaded. 
 
 Perhaps you still believe that vivisection 
 may help to prolong your life, or that of 
 those near and dear to you. But even if 
 
 37 
 
this were true and possible : / would rather 
 have no bodies than such as are kept alive at 
 the cost of suffering of whatever- creature 
 it be! 
 
 This viewpoint must be y-ours, if you wish 
 to side with Me ! 
 
 Your laws forbid murder and yet you 
 murder murderers . ... by law! Only dis- 
 torted brains can deem this logical ! But 
 human laws and brains both lack perfection, 
 both still lack Purity. 
 
 When I, in the children of the Future 
 Race, am born, there will be purer brains, 
 and no laws, but : the Law i. e. : the Law of 
 Love. 
 
 They will live by this Law, and need no 
 man-made laws. And they will know .... 
 more than you now can know. 
 
 But even you should know : that in a crim- 
 inal the owner of the body is diseased; the 
 entity within is the one who commits the 
 crime, using the body as its instrument. 
 
You may kill the body but the man him- 
 self lives on. 
 
 You liberate the man who, after the 
 execution, is much more dangerous than he 
 ever was before. For filled with revenge 
 and hatred, in addition to other wrongs he 
 will go on spreading, unchecked in any way, 
 his ominous influence. 
 
 Caught in the body, you can limit the de- 
 praved actions of the indwelling entity, con- 
 trol it, better it. Thrown out of its physical 
 vesture, beyond human control, it gravitates 
 towards those who have similar vicious pro- 
 pensities inciting them to villainous acts, 
 using them as its tools, its mediums for re- 
 venge. 
 
 Thus, legalized murder makes more mur- 
 derers. 
 
 Therefore, again: kill not not even crim- 
 inals. Their death does not help you nor 
 does it help them. 
 
 Restrain their actions, while you cure 
 their souls. Treat them as patients, for they 
 are morally sick. Their souls are young 
 young as your own once was and weak, and 
 
 39 
 
ignorant. Give them of your own wisdom, 
 of your own moral strength. Apply the Law 
 of Love! 
 
 If you really are the older, more highly 
 evolved one, your duty is to help, to guide, to 
 teach, to love. But if you continue to exe- 
 cute and despise .... you are not yet far 
 evolved above the criminal. You are then 
 yourself guilty of a lack of understanding 
 and of love from which results all crime. 
 
 No hunting can there be be it for fash- 
 ion's sake or as a sport where I shall man- 
 ifest. Whoever does it, or causes it to be done, 
 commits a serious crime against My moral 
 code, which is wholly based on love. 
 
 Your furs which you are so fond of, be- 
 cause they .... cost so much (their price 
 was the suffering and the life of animals, 
 which, indeed, is far too much!) ; 
 
 your feathers, torn from slain (oft only 
 injured birds, whose nests of young are left 
 to starve that you may go about with a 
 fashionable' hat; 
 
the skin of unborn bodies, cut from the 
 mother's womb to give your hands soft cov- 
 ering .... 
 
 the very sight of all this hurts every cell 
 in Me; and where such things are worn, I 
 needs must stay afar. 
 
 Do you not realize that such ornaments 
 are laden with a curse and that each one 
 who touches them for greed's or vanity's 
 sake will be subjected to its fatal influences? 
 
 Do you not realize that your adornment 
 is detestably distasteful in the eyes of anyone 
 who as I can see and sense the pain and 
 anguish attached to it? 
 
 You, many of you on the ground of 
 moral principles, of tenderheartedness 
 would never think of doing with your own 
 hands what you allow others to do for you. 
 
 But you are just as guilty if only of a 
 lack of love, which counts heavily with Me 
 as the one who does the killing, for your ill- 
 chosen means of comfort and satisfaction. 
 
Killing for sport, for amusement, is an 
 atrocious thing incomprehensible to all the 
 children of the Race that is to come. 
 
 Did you ever saunter through field or 
 forest, on a lovely day when the deep blue 
 of the sky, the golden sunshine on the trees 
 and foliage, the fresh green grass and shrubs 
 work as an inspiration? Could they 'in- 
 spire' you then: to go and kill something? 
 
 Did you ever come across the bloody 
 trail of a wounded animal, or find a dying 
 creature, shot, but not killed outright by 
 hunters, wantonly 'sporting 7 ? Or did you 
 see an animal caught in the iron jaws of a 
 cruelly squeezing trap, and see its agony, its 
 desperate efforts to regain its liberty? 
 
 Could you then go and kill kill these life- 
 loving creatures who, like yourself, enjoy the 
 happiness of existence in the realms of 
 bounteous nature? Could you still go, de- 
 stroying these unsuspecting, living things 
 just for the sake of boasting about the num- 
 bers you had killed? 
 
 Then go and do those things, if you can- 
 
 42 
 
not resist the longings which make you thirst 
 for murder and for blood. But do not think 
 that where / am, you ever can come near. 
 The joy and beauty of the New Race will be 
 protected from your influence for your 
 mere presence would defile its Purity. 
 
 Even hunting beasts of prey will not be 
 done by those who aspire to form a link 
 with Me. 
 
 Such creatures are the outcome of your 
 own cruelty. As, in the past in lives long 
 past you trained domestic animals to help 
 you on your hunts, you have evolved those 
 species which you yourself now fear. You 
 have imbued them with your cruelty. Beast 
 preys on beast .... because man taught 
 him so. All murderous instinct in all crea- 
 tures is of human origin! 
 
 Great is the guilt of rnao towards the ani- 
 mal kingdom. When will he be willing to 
 expunge his debts, and by deeds of mercy 
 and of kindness obliterate his outrageous 
 transgressions? 
 
 Man was, and is, the one discordant note 
 
in nature's symphony the one dark blot on 
 the work of the Creator. Man has become 
 a menace to the consummate fulfilment of 
 God's plan. Yet is he meant to be and still 
 destined to be its most glorious culmina- 
 tion. 
 
 To him was given .^//-consciousness, the 
 power of thought, to use for the unfoldment 
 of his divine qualities. Greatly abused has 
 he the godlike gift that was bestowed upon 
 him. 
 
 But in the future he will attain to SELF- 
 consciousness and know all Life as One. 
 Then will he undo the evil that in the past 
 he did. Then will he learn to love all, as 
 he loves himself now. 
 
 Yes even vermin, even what you call 
 'pests' ! 
 
 They are the outcome of your hatred, of 
 human evil thoughts. Think not that just by 
 'killing' you can free yourself from them. 
 Your own thoughts live in them. And those 
 will take new forms with venom intensified, 
 
caused by the horrid feelings with which you 
 still can kill. 
 
 These are the facts, known to the ones 
 who fully know the Law facts, visible in 
 subtler realms, invisible to man, who is 
 blinded by self-made obstacles of ignorance 
 and sin. 
 
 Study and live the Law. Then will 
 you know and see! 
 
 Your envy and your ill-temper; your 
 greed and mercilessness; your stinging criti- 
 cism; your own uncleanliness; your secret 
 ugly thoughts which you have been sending 
 out so superabundantly from day to day, and 
 almost every hour all these instill into ver- 
 min the very qualities that make them a nui- 
 sance to you. 
 
 Destruction of the forms will not destroy 
 the thoughts which are essential to the ver- 
 min life. But you must stop your hatred, 
 your fear, your unkind thoughts. Only by 
 purer thoughts- only by thoughts of love 
 can you eradicate the power which, in the 
 past (be it only yesterday) you have stirred 
 up by your own loveless thinking. 
 
Sages and even ordinary human beings 
 have proven that: no beasts or vermin 
 bother those who live the Law of Love 
 . that is: who love all Life. 
 
 Some day, you will know as / know: that 
 the One Life is manifest in all. To kill is to 
 rob Life of its form which, after all, is: 
 robbing God of a form for His expression. 
 
 All Life is He. 
 
 Life, the mysterious power that man can 
 never control, is the Divine Itself the One 
 Reality in all, in you, in Me. 
 
PURITY FROM POISON 
 
 Why do you all or almost all eat 
 poisons, and drink them, breathe them, and 
 inject them into your own blood ? 
 
 Just because others do it? Through 
 thoughtless habit? To please your physical 
 senses? For fear of sickness and of death? 
 To seek forgetfulness from troubles and 
 from boredom ? Or, for what other reason ? 
 
 None of these motives appear very sound 
 to Me. None of these could influence the 
 spiritually evolved, who seek the Purity 
 which the New Race will have. 
 
 To that Race, not only will the present 
 use of poisons seem the greatest folly but 
 the arguments for their use Avill be quoted 
 
 47 
 
as proof sufficient of the lamentable state of 
 moral and mental development of today's 
 humanity. 
 
 The lack of individual convictions; the 
 giddy-headedness; the willing submission to 
 the rulership of bodily wants and won'ts; 
 the ignorance about the continuity of con- 
 scious existence; the weakness of attempting 
 to elude life's lessons all these are proofs 
 of a young stage of evolution, which has to 
 be outgrown before admission into the Com- 
 ing Race can be obtained. 
 
 No poison will impair the Purity of that 
 enlightened Race! 
 
 Meat is it necessary for Me to tell you 
 that it is poisonous .... in addition to the 
 fact that crime is attached to it? 
 
 Not only are the animals frequently dis- 
 eased; not only do you make a grave-yard of 
 your own digestive organs, and thus pollute 
 your body with the decaying remnants of 
 cadavers; but also is their blood the carrier 
 of animal qualities: by eating meat you build 
 
 4$ 
 
those into you. You strengthen animalism 
 in yourself, which you are intended to out- 
 grow. And the anger, fear and hatred 
 which fill the animals as they are slaughtered 
 these go into their blood .... and 
 poison you. > 
 
 It makes you irritable, emotional and rest- 
 less; stirs up your passions; sets up a thirst 
 for fiery drinks and spices. 
 
 All kinds of reasons there are hygienic, 
 physiological, economical, ethical, occult 
 why you should not eat meat. Read, if you 
 like, the 'pros' for swallowing it and also 
 read the 'cons'. Then (without worrying 
 about your shape of teeth or the length of 
 your intestines) look around, and see the 
 convincing fact: that many live quite joyously 
 without it. 
 
 But above all this, bethink what I now say : 
 no blood may pass the lips of those in whom 
 I shall manifest! And not a single creature 
 shall be allowed to die or suffer for their 
 sake. 
 
Alcohol .... yes, taken in quantity you 
 all agree that it is detrimental. But you 
 should also know that every drop of it is 
 poisonous. 
 
 Whether gulped down the throat as liquor, 
 or carefully apportioned as a medicine, 
 sniffed up in perfume, or rubbed into the 
 skin, natural or camouflaged, or when de- 
 natured it is always injurious to moral and 
 to mental as well as to physical health. And 
 every bit of it its faintest odor in the at- 
 mosphere draws undesirable entities who 
 make the world around you impure. In this 
 way, too, it is poison for yourself, and for 
 those who are close to you. 
 
 It may briskly stimulate, inciting wit, quick 
 action, and a sensation though deceptive 
 of feeling extremely well. It acts like a 
 flaring fire : a brilliant display .... fol- 
 lowed by desolation. 
 
 In reality it dulls. Dulls brain capacity. 
 Dulls the keen sensitiveness of the nerves. 
 Dulls the ability of judging sensibly. Dulls 
 the digestive powers. Dulls muscular vigor. 
 
 BO 
 
Dulls moral stamina. Dulls clear vision. 
 Dulls practically every organ. 
 
 Most harmful of all : it dulls even when 
 taken in minutest quantities those organs 
 which, in latent potentiality, contain man's 
 power of superphysical vision; and more 
 than that: of spirituality. Long discarded 
 and unused put, and kept out of operation 
 by man's own impurity these organs will 
 be revived in the children of My Race. 
 
 Only by Purity not alone from alcohol, 
 but from all passion and poison can they 
 regain their true function. 
 
 What has been said of alcohol, applies to 
 opium, morphine and other drugs. And 
 even to tobacco. For nicotine is poison 
 albeit that some can smoke, and live a hun- 
 dred years. 
 
 Tobacco soothes which is to say : it stupe- 
 fies emotions, nerves and mind, and all those 
 faculties which are also affected by the use of 
 alcohol. 
 
 Although not criminal like eating meat, 
 
 61 
 
not tending towards crime like using alcohol 
 smoking, in one way, is more apparently 
 objectionable than either. The smoker, with 
 his pernicious habit, pollutes the atmosphere 
 to the disgust and danger of the health of 
 those around him. First with his smoke, 
 and afterwards with his breath and nauseous, 
 evilly magnetic emanations, he makes him- 
 self an offensive nuisance. 
 
 The disregard for the interests of others, 
 by which the smoker proves his utter selfish- 
 ness this in itself would make it quite im- 
 possible for any member of My Future 
 Race to smoke. 
 
 The most dangerous group of poisons 
 though scientifically prescribed are vaccines, 
 serums and all those obnoxious things which 
 you allow to be injected, infecting your very 
 blood. This superstitious practice, this dan- 
 gerous medical craze, is the most ludicrous 
 fallacy of science run amuck. 
 
 Wild tribes (how foolish!) look most 
 
reverently at the dances and performances 
 of their Vise 1 medicine man. 
 
 Your ancestors (how stupid!) submitted 
 most trustfully to the crude bloodletting 
 operations by their Vise' medical men who 
 eagerly applied it to whatever ailed the 
 crowd. 
 
 You now (how .... what?) most con- 
 fidingly permit your medical faculty to let 
 putrid, septic matter contaminate your blood. 
 
 Worst of all, these serums themselves 
 products of disease have been obtained at 
 the cost of suffering : by vivisectional experi- 
 ments on animals, and occasionally on men ! 
 
 For this, more than for any other reason, 
 the practice of inoculation stands in the New 
 Race condemned! 
 
 There, disease will be prevented. Not by 
 absorbing poison, or by injecting pus but 
 by sane and sanitary living; by purity of 
 food, of every deed, of thought. 
 
 Only by Purity! 
 
 It is habits senseless habits you arc ad- 
 
dieted to. They poison your existence, spoil 
 your pure joy of life. 
 
 By your habits thoughtless habits you 
 have built up the instincts and the cravings 
 of your body which demand obedience of 
 you. You have become slaves of habit, in- 
 stead of masters of destiny! 
 
 By habit you do all you do. By habit you 
 slur through life grasping all passing pleas- 
 ures .... instead of winning that great 
 and permanent joy which comes with Purity 
 and freedom from the rulership of habits. 
 
 My Race will have entirely risen above the 
 poisonous dominion of restricting growth- 
 impeding habits! 
 
PURITY FROM PETTINESS 
 
 You, Gods-to-be you, who would know 
 that you are God, if you but knew your SELF 
 .... what are you yet but tiny tin-gods on 
 a homemade pedestal ? Hollow at that, both 
 base and statuette; inside them naught but 
 choking air with which you inflate your self. 
 
 It would be amusing .... if it were not 
 so pitifully petty, if pettiness were not the 
 key-note of your lives ! Please note : it is not 
 your neighbors that I have reference to 
 but decidedly to the pettiness in you. 
 
 Review your days. 
 
 Consider carefully the motives for each 
 deed. Weigh on a balance all your selfish- 
 ness: all that you did to please and glorify 
 
 56 
 
your own personality. And on precision 
 scales measure out your love : all that you 
 did for others, in perfect selflessness. (I 
 hope you will find a pair sufficiently sensi- 
 tive.) 
 
 Compare the two results. 
 
 Then say whether you would still blame 
 Me, if I stated that your whole life seems 
 petty. 
 
 How, in the mornings, do you get up ? 
 
 Just sluggishly, because your shop, your 
 office, your routine work needs attention? 
 Or sometimes gleefully, when you look for- 
 ward to an agreeable happening: a trip, a 
 party, or a present, some special profit, or 
 the visit of someone that will give joy to 
 you? 
 
 Did you ever greet the daybreak buoy- 
 antly, filled with the thought of what this 
 day may enable you to do for others' sake? 
 To lessen pain, to impart happiness, to help 
 with all the means that you have at your 
 disposal not alone by what you have, but 
 bv all that vou can be? 
 
This is how all My Children will arise : 
 filled with that purest joy of self-forgetful- 
 ness. If yours are other motives .... 
 they are petty. 
 
 What do you work for? 
 
 Just for the daily bread of your own 
 family? To add to your material posses- 
 sions? To keep up or improve your 
 social standing? To acquire for yourself 
 a name, and maybe fame? 
 
 Or, for the betterment of conditions for 
 your fellowmen even if no salary, no 
 write-ups in the papers, no recognition from 
 any side results from it for you ? 
 
 Is petty selfishness, or unreserved self- 
 lessness your incentive? 
 
 What have you a family for? What did 
 you marry for? 
 
 Just because you wanted happiness? Be- 
 cause you thought of the pleasure and the 
 comfort that it would bring to you? Even 
 
 67 
 
with so-called love : did you not mostly con- 
 sider the advantages that it would have for 
 you? Do not pretend that you did it for 
 love's sake, if in reality it was for self s 
 sake, to accommodate the puny, selfish 
 'you 9 ! 
 
 My Children will not be led by any such 
 petty thoughts. Only unselfish reasons will 
 guide their every step. As a result : a happi- 
 ness that you with the utmost brain strain 
 have no idea of. 
 
 What are you eating for three, four, 
 five times a day? 
 
 Do you eat to live, and to be able to work 
 better or do you work, and apparently only 
 live, in order to eat better, more epicurishly? 
 
 Are dinners and delicacies still desirable 
 attentions to be offered to your friends by 
 them again to be repaid to you? 
 
 Do recipes for new dishes, for soups, pies 
 and desserts still fill a large percentage of 
 your daily talk and thought? 
 
 Is your kitchen still your shrine room, the 
 
cooking stove the altar on which you bring 
 offerings blood offerings at that to the 
 highest you can worship? 
 
 Is your stomach still the sun of your ex- 
 istence, around which a system of numerous 
 'plan-eats' and *come-eats\ in dyspeptic dis- 
 harmony, everlastingly revolves? 
 
 Then, pettiness (I am sorry) is para- 
 mount in you. 
 
 Why do you dress in full or in half 
 dress? 
 
 To protect your body from weather in- 
 fluences which can be done in graceful 
 simplicity? 
 
 Or: to parade; to make others think that 
 you are somebody; to proudly revel in beauty 
 which others can not have; to be admired; 
 to excite jealousy; and to attract attention? 
 
 If so go on, you slaves of fickleness and 
 fashion. Do not let Me bother you. Con- 
 tinue being petty; indulge in hats and haber- 
 dashery, and expensive petty-coats. On you 
 
I need not count for the establishing of the 
 glorious, free New Race! 
 
 Why have you a religion, or a philosophy? 
 Why do you go to church, or to religious 
 meetings? 
 
 Because your parents do? Because it is 
 customary? Because it gives a splendid op- 
 portunity to make acquaintances? To in- 
 sure a reserved seat in heaven? Because a 
 ceremony, or a well worded lecture, makes 
 you feel through emotionalism exception- 
 ally good? Because your concrete mind de- 
 lights in definitions and speculations about 
 vague and far-off things? 
 
 None of these petty reasons seem plausi- 
 ble to Me. Only as an expression of your 
 inner divinity, as an irresistible desire to 
 realize your inherent link with God thus 
 only are religion or philosophy true values, 
 instead of spurious shams. 
 
 Your very virtues are, too frequently, 
 
 SO 
 
petty vices in disguise. Some of you are so 
 full of virtue that you make yourselves un- 
 bearable, and, by your self-complacency, 
 cause pain to others. True virtue never 
 harms. 
 
 You are very kind sometimes, when con- 
 ditions are suitable, when you are in the right 
 mood, when it may serve your special pur- 
 poses. If you are truly kind, you are always 
 kind, and make no distinctions. 
 
 You are charitable on official subscrip- 
 tion lists. 
 
 You give liberally in order to gain, no 
 matter what: love, friendship, recognition, 
 satisfaction, gratitude. 
 
 You are full of joy when everything 
 goes well with you. 
 
 You are humorous no matter whether it 
 may hurt somebody's feelings, if people but 
 call you smart. Your humor only humors 
 your vain personality. 
 
 You love to do your work perfectly in 
 order to excel, to be considered more than 
 others. 
 
 You adore the beautiful, in music, in all 
 
art with the one wish: to have it for your 
 own enjoyment and glorification. What 
 your rival has, or has produced, can not be 
 beautiful, of course, 
 
 You long for spiritual development not 
 that you may help others, but to be helped, in 
 order to become more than your fellowmen 
 not to serve the world, but to rule, and 
 gain authority. 
 
 / know your motives better than you do 
 yourself. I shall not undervalue a single one 
 of you. But you must know yourself: your 
 little 'self first, with all its pettiness before 
 you can know your SELF. 
 
 Why do you talk and talk? 
 
 About the weather; about your health; 
 about your food; about your own affairs, 
 and even about those of others; about peo- 
 ple whom you know but usually do not 
 know; and about all kinds of petty nothing- 
 ness? 
 
 Is it just a habit which you cannot stop? 
 
 62 
 
Can you not grow beyond the stage of prat- 
 tling children? It is worse than that: child's 
 talk is innocent is yours always? When 
 you gossip? When you repeat an unkind 
 story about friends or strangers? Do you 
 know their motives, all their difficulties, the 
 lessons they have to learn, the struggles they 
 have to fight? If you did, you would not 
 speak about them in the way you do. 
 
 Is there nothing better to be done than to 
 indulge in this petty talk, talk, TALK? You 
 waste your time, your energy your oppor- 
 tunity to hear the wise and loving Voice of 
 your true SELF. 
 
 You do not even know that there is such 
 a Voice ? Because you talk too much ! Be- 
 cause you are always occupied with your 
 petty little 'self and its material interests ! 
 
 My children in the Coming Race will 
 know and understand the Voice of SELF 
 and readily listen to it. 
 
 And then .... do not forget that sound 
 creates. Speech is creative force. The man- 
 ifested universe was actually created by the 
 
Logoic Word. So do your words create. 
 
 Every word you utter, every noise you 
 make, sets up vibration in the physical 
 ether. Where does it stop and when? No- 
 where and never! It goes out and out 
 and on and on. Your chattering and jabber- 
 ing disturbs the harmony of the whole uni- 
 verse! And for eternity the origin of the dis- 
 turbance can be traced back to you. 
 
 Better be silent f than abuse this mighty 
 creative force in senseless, thoughtless, use- 
 less, aimless, endless talk! 
 
 Why do you live and die? 
 
 Do you think there is no reason for such 
 events as birth and death? Do you think 
 they are just 'happenings' ? Or do you not 
 think at all? 
 
 Do you only live because you cannot help 
 it, and die without knowing why? Do you 
 fear death, for fear of losing 'life', losing 
 all your property, losing consciousness of 
 'self'? 
 
 The time will come when vou will realize 
 
that your own life is eternal. Then will 
 the 'self that petty, selfish 'self with all 
 its separateness appear to you like an un- 
 wieldy load that has been hindering your 
 growth. 
 
 Better shake that burden off while you are 
 what you call 'living' : for death will not free 
 you from it. 
 
 t/w-self yourself. Then will you really 
 and for ever, in unbroken consciousness 
 live! 
 
 Perhaps you think that though there 
 may be a reason for life as well as death 
 you are not supposed, not even allowed to 
 know? 
 
 You, man created in the likeness of the 
 Almighty God do you think you can be like 
 Him without omniscience? You are He 
 in latency, in undeveloped powers. But by 
 your pettiness you limit His expression ! 
 
 Investigate! Think! Know! Unfold 
 your latent powers ! Become almighty and 
 omniscient! No expression of life is too in- 
 
significant nothing too great for your un- 
 derstanding. There is no secret in the uni- 
 verse that you are not to know/ 
 
 Outgrow your pettiness! 
 
 Throw off the chains which limit your 
 SELF-expression : your trifling habits and 
 imaginary duties, your thoughtless going-on 
 along customary ways, your fear to differ 
 from your surroundings, your fear of any- 
 thing. 
 
 All that belongs to 'self must go. Then 
 and then only manifests the SELF. 
 
 Set to work and do not despair. 
 
 Even the biggest fool will evolve into a 
 tool in the hands of the Great Architect, 
 Who will finally express the glory of His 
 Being through all His creatures. 
 
 Hasten the process of your evolution. 
 
 Thus will you speed the coming of My 
 lofty, fearless Raccl 
 
PURITY OF SOCIAL CONDITIONS 
 
 Unsolved social problems throw a black 
 shadow upon present humanity : problems of 
 capital and labor; of wealth and poverty; of 
 child's and woman's welfare, and of destitu- 
 tion of invalids and aged; of wages and 
 working hours; of overwork and unemploy- 
 ment; of vice and unutilized benevolence; of 
 crime and charity; of hygiene and disease; 
 of tenements and untilled land; of power for 
 the few, and slavery for the many; of trusts 
 and lack of trust; of money .... and lack 
 of money! 
 
 These problems are the weeds in what 
 could be the enchanting, luxuriant garden of 
 human civilization. But you have mistaken 
 
 7 
 
them for the permanent growth. You have 
 protected them instead of the superb vegeta- 
 tion that you were intended to foster until 
 they have smothered all the more delicate 
 plants, which need full sunlight, need to be 
 bathed in rays of Divinity. 
 
 The weeds were easier to grow. Now 
 they have grown above your heads thick 
 as a forest and you begin to feel the chill 
 that hangs in their shadow. You long for 
 sunshine and try to trim and clip the 
 gigantic weeds, in order that a little ray may 
 penetrate to you. 
 
 Do you contemplate cutting the plants, to 
 get more warmth, more light? Be careful 
 what you do! If the root remains, it will 
 sprout again : your cutting will not help, until 
 you pull out the root. That root is : selfish- 
 ness! Not alone in others but in you! 
 
 Clean out that little plot, which has been 
 entrusted to you ! To clean those of all your 
 neighbors is far too great a task : that is not 
 expected of you. First clear your own 
 and do it for their sake : that they may be 
 able to enjoy the light thrown on your garden, 
 
 68 
 
and the beauty of the tender plants of Love, 
 with fragrant blooms of Purity that will take 
 the place of weeds. 
 
 Then seeing what you have done, and 
 what you have attained they will soon fol- 
 low your example, and readily accept your 
 unobtrusive help. Ere long no weed will re- 
 main. Its roots will be destroyed. And no 
 more shadows will be cast by the outcome of 
 selfishness upon the joy of being of the human 
 race. 
 
 Then will My Race spread out over the 
 earth, abiding in those Gardens of selfless 
 Love and perfect Purity, which you can now 
 prepare. And you yourself by the power 
 of your un-selfed SELF will belong to that 
 sublime New Race, and, with the others, will 
 enjoy the fruits of the prolific plants which 
 you must now guard and cherish. 
 
 I do not deal with each problem separate- 
 ly. I shall not show you how to potter about, 
 repairing leaks, replastering here and there, 
 and covering with fresh paint soiled spots on 
 
your tottering building of civilization. 
 
 Keep it up as best you can. Go on living 
 in it .... until a new home shall be ready. 
 
 Meantime : combine your efforts in erect- 
 ing a New Building. Lay the foundation of 
 an all-enduring selflessness; raise the walls 
 of a protective love ; and decorate with unde- 
 filable purity. Provide, for all alike, the fur- 
 nishings of brotherly thoughts and joy. 
 
 Then move and leave behind your trash 
 of social problems: you will have neither 
 place nor use for them. 
 
 Keep the old structure as a museum, with 
 relics of a queer and foolish past. No one 
 will ever want, or need to live in it again; 
 provided: you do your share in helping to 
 construct the new edifice provided you join 
 the workers who are preparing the world for 
 the beauteous New Race. 
 
 Problems exist only for the ones who are 
 still ignorant. To Those Who guide human 
 evolution to the Teachers of the child hu- 
 manity your social problems do not any 
 
 70 
 
more exist. Once having solved them for 
 Themselves, They know. 
 
 Why then, do They not come and help you 
 solve them? Would it help a child in school, 
 if the teacher solved its simple little prob- 
 lems of arithmetic? It would be easy 
 for the teacher but would it train the child? 
 Would, in that way, the child develop the 
 qualities and the capacities for the purpose of 
 which the problems are laid before it? 
 
 Wise teachers watch the children loving- 
 ly, rejoicing when a pupil, by his own exer- 
 tion, has solved a problem. Then they ad- 
 vance that pupil, and give him harder prob- 
 lems until the school years are over, and 
 the children graduate. 
 
 Thus do the Teachers of the present race 
 consider social problems. They have laid 
 them before you that you, in solving them, 
 may develop your inherent powers/ You 
 must work them out, without the Teacher's 
 help. 
 
 In the meantime, I am waiting for you to 
 
 71 
 
graduate. For graduation from this race 
 means admission into Mine : into that il- 
 lumined Race, into which all can be born. 
 
 But I cannot wait indefinitely! I cannot 
 wait for all those who are lazy, who would 
 rather play than work at the problems, who 
 try to evade the training, and who seem to 
 believe that the purpose of the tasks is to 
 make life miserable ! 
 
 Only those who apply themselves cheer- 
 fully, glad of the training which will enable 
 them to do better work, later those only 
 can be candidates for My Coming Race. 
 
 I have come to help them to hasten 
 their promotion. A hint is all that I can give. 
 But it contains the key to the solution of all 
 difficulties. 
 
 Listen, you who seriously struggle with 
 your problems, anxious to solve them: LOVE 
 is the key that will open the secret chamber 
 the chamber of the human heart where 
 you will find the ever-present solution which 
 will make all problems vanish from your ex- 
 istence. 
 
 72 
 
Take that key. 
 
 But remember: it works only if it is 
 handled with immaculate Purity! 
 
 Until you have discovered that Love is 
 the only key to the solution of your prob- 
 lems, your lessons have not been learned: 
 you cannot graduate. 
 
 As you refuse, life after life, to learn 
 you are handed over to a private Teacher 
 Who never fails. Strong, patient, forgiving, 
 compassionate, filled with the one desire to 
 help you to grow towards greater happiness, 
 towards the Future Race and with a per- 
 fect knowledge of your failings and your 
 possibilities, this Teacher takes you in hand. 
 You may not like the method but it is the 
 greatest help that could be given you. 
 
 The name is : Suffering. 
 
 No greater and more loving Teacher 
 ever was than Suffering! 
 
 Unfailing are the ultimate results. When 
 nothing else brings out love and compassion 
 
 78 
 
your own suffering does. It makes you 
 understand what others feel; it makes you 
 feel with others, thus sowing the seed of 
 Love. 
 
 Not always does this grow immediately. 
 
 It may have to drill its way through a 
 crust of stony ground ere its tiny shoot be- 
 comes visible on the surface. And Suffering 
 may have to help, to break the ground and 
 loosen it, and keep it soft. 
 
 This Teacher the liberator of the Di- 
 vine in man continues to bear with you, 
 with your obstinately clinging to selfish inter- 
 ests .... until you have learned the les- 
 son: unburdened yourself from 'self, be- 
 gun to live in the SELF. 
 
 Pain is the shortcut towards liberation 
 towards a conscious realization of Life and 
 Light divine. It is the dark tunnel through 
 which all must pass to reach the land of un- 
 fading beauty, of eternal youth and bliss. 
 
 As you advance into the tunnel, the dark- 
 ness deepens: no beam of light behind, no 
 glimmering ahead; the air is heavy; you 
 
 ?4 
 
awkwardly grope about to find your way; 
 you fear a cave-in; you are near exhaustion, 
 and bitterly complain. 
 
 Go on, go on ! Listen to the sounds ahead. 
 They are the cries of ecstasy of those ap- 
 proaching the opening at the end, and who 
 begin to see what you can not yet see: the 
 colors and the splendor of a light such as 
 they have never seen, which will be yours for 
 ever, once you arrive there. 
 
 Listen again: footsteps coming towards 
 you, glad voices calling you. It is they who 
 have had a glimpse, and now come back to 
 encourage you, to cheer you, to share their 
 joy with you. For they have seen the light 
 of the new era which only instils joy, when 
 it is shared with others, with all who can be 
 reached. 
 
 There is another way to the valley of 
 blithe felicity. It is a long and weary way, 
 zig-zagging across high mountain tops, 
 through fields of never melting snow. A 
 lonely road which is full of dangers: where 
 
avalanches threaten, where one easily loses 
 his path, freezing to death in solitude. 
 
 Some try that road; but they either become 
 lost, or, eventually, return to pass into the 
 tunnel. 
 
 No human creature ever reached his goal, 
 except by going through the Tunnel of Suf- 
 fering! 
 
 All is well! 
 
 All that is, is well as it is, and for the good 
 of everyone concerned. But that is not ex- 
 cluding the fact : that it might and will be 
 better. 
 
 Are you not yet convinced that in a uni- 
 verse ruled by Love of which the Almighty 
 Ruler is Love itself there can be no injus- 
 tice? 
 
 Even the greatest suffering, as well as the 
 slightest unpleasant experience, is self-at- 
 tracted. Not as a punishment, laid upon you 
 by the wrath of an avenging Power; but as 
 the natural reaction of your own actions, of 
 your own stubborn refusal to learn life's les- 
 
sons, your continued seeking to serve the 
 'self, instead, and at the cost, of SELF. 
 
 Perhaps you are conclusively aware of this 
 fundamental truth: that nothing is unjust, 
 and that to every creature is meted out only 
 a well-deserved share of evil as well as good. 
 You may have this wisdom at hand, and 
 freely make use of it ... whenever others 
 are in trouble, in sorrow, in serious difficul- 
 ties. But when some disappointment thrusts 
 itself upon you .... where is your wis- 
 dom then? You are provoked and angry, 
 worried, unnerved, upset and call what- 
 ever strikes you: unwarranted, undeserved, 
 unjust! 
 
 You are blinded by the 'self . Wake up; 
 take your own medicine, with the impersonal 
 wisdom of the SELF. 
 
 Suffering and every blow that you ascribe 
 to fate is medicine, of your own making. 
 You brewed it by your past deeds; it is yours 
 every drop of it. But by the Ones Who 
 guide your evolution, it is lovingly applied to 
 cure you .... from your self! 
 
Hence: all is well. 
 
 Even the misery of your present social 
 conditions .... as long as they remain as 
 they are. 
 
 But: things will not be as well with you as 
 you wish them to be, as long as you have not 
 exhausted every means whereby to alleviate 
 your brother's suffering from whatever 
 cause that be ! Things cannot be what you 
 call 'well,' as long as you still need a repeti- 
 tion of the same lessons until you have 
 learned brotherliness and compassion. 
 
 Outer conditions are the outcome the 
 mirrored picture of inner qualities. This 
 counts for individuals as well as for a race. 
 
 You, in your world of unrealities, try to 
 remodel the ephemeral reflections your so- 
 cial conditions by some sketching and some 
 painting on the surface of the mirror. Do 
 you not see the originals your inner quali- 
 ties as the things that should be changed to 
 improve their own reflection? 
 
 The change for better can only come from 
 
 7S 
 
within from within yourself. First purify 
 yourself then will conditions change. 
 
 This is not a selfish way nor a self-cen- 
 tered one. For, to succeed, you must rid 
 yourself of 'self; and, void of 'self how 
 could there be a question of selfishness? 
 
 As you purify yourself, you grow from 
 'self to SELF towards unity with all. And 
 then you cannot help loving and helping all. 
 Further: your own perfection helps to per- 
 fect the whole of humanity just as each ad- 
 ditional light helps to dispel the darkness in 
 a dimly lighted hall. 
 
 A difference in evolutionary standpoint, 
 in spiritual development, in brain capacity, in 
 physical strength, in health, in ability along 
 definite lines and even in possessions will 
 probably always exist. 
 
 But in the Coming Race, in a loving mu- 
 tual understanding, no one will cause an- 
 other's suffering: the greatest joy of every- 
 one will be to use all that he is and has for 
 the giving of joy to others. There will not 
 
 TO 
 
be the misery of poverty neither the curse 
 of selfishly used wealth. 
 
 Your money values do not count with Me : 
 heart values are the only things worthy My 
 consideration. With all your millions with 
 all the world's treasures you cannot bribe 
 Me to come. But where a pure heart is un- 
 folding SELF though in its humbleness and 
 lack of brilliancy unnoticed by most of you 
 there am I attracted. There is the New 
 Race coming into expression. There dawns 
 the wider consciousness which will bring a 
 perfect solution of all problems, of all mys- 
 teries. 
 
 The only mystery which you need to solve 
 is: the realization of the Oneness of all life. 
 LOVE will solve it and therewith ail your 
 problems. 
 
PURITY OF EMOTIONS 
 
 What a whirling and twirling in the super- 
 ethereal substance of your body, and in your 
 atmosphere! Invisible to you, perhaps? 
 But there nevertheless as a result of your 
 excitability, your uncontrolled emotions, 
 your restlessness. 
 
 Learn to see. Then watch the turbulent 
 motions of the fine matter on which emotions 
 are impressed. Watch the disturbances, set 
 up in the earthly atmosphere by the hurry 
 and the struggle and the nervosity of modern 
 life. Watch the superphysical conditions of 
 a city, of noisy traffic, of a celebrating crowd. 
 Then, too, of your own home. And of your- 
 self! 
 
 81 
 
But you are not emotional, are you? You 
 are wonderfully balanced. You can read in 
 the daily papers, without being in the least 
 stirred, about battles raging where thousands 
 are killed and maimed .... but none you 
 know are there; about destruction of facto- 
 ries .... in which you have no shares; 
 about cataclysms and calamities .... all 
 far away from home; about murders, hold- 
 ups, etc not in your neighborhood. 
 
 But on the next page is a paragraph 
 .... look again .... can that be right? 
 A slump in your best stocks? Your candi- 
 date exposed? A rumor about some scandal 
 in your family? Or your name honorably 
 mentioned .... so terribly misspelled that 
 nobody will know it is you? But that is more 
 than anyone can stand! Now watch the at- 
 mosphere ! 
 
 What an agitation .... when your din- 
 ner is somewhat late, when the soup is over- 
 seasoned, the coffee served cold! You try to 
 keep your poise ; but from a gloomy face, you 
 emanate muddy torrents which darken the 
 whole house. 
 
 
 
What horrid streaks in your aura, splashes 
 of miry hues .... when you 'enjoy' low 
 emotional music, or a passionate opera 
 which you like to call 'art' ! Or when read- 
 ing obscene stories, or exchanging vulgar 
 jokes. 
 
 Such pastimes are to your emotions, what 
 salted pretzels are to the lining of the throat : 
 artificially, they excite a thirst, a longing for 
 satisfaction, entirely unnatural. 
 
 If only you could see what a chaos you 
 create by your applause, your yells, your 
 screajns, and unnecessary noises! They go 
 fairly well with bull-fights, with Indian war- 
 dances, with feasts of savages, orgies of un- 
 couth brutes. At the present time they 
 should not in the Coming Race they cannot 
 find a place! 
 
 Why permit them in your children, en- 
 courage them in colleges and schools? Why 
 do you, you yourself, go on with most of 
 them? Because you like emotion? And do 
 not care to know about nature's finer forces? 
 Because you are too much filled with what 
 you call 'pleasure', to seek the nobler pleas- 
 
ures of the Race that I shall bring? 
 
 Emotion and excitement could you live 
 without these ? Without your dinner parties, 
 your theatres and shows; your tension about 
 new quotations, your chance for special gains; 
 your shopping, and selecting unneeded things 
 at sales; your friendly (?) naggings and 
 quarrels with your nearest relatives; your 
 chats about the 'latest' (quite confidentially, 
 of course) ; your numberless appointments 
 (all important, to be sure) ; and even your 
 disappointments . . . .? 
 
 Days would seem dull and dreary, if you 
 had to miss these things. They are the stimu- 
 lants that keep you going the spices, with- 
 out which your life would be tedious indeed! 
 
 You have not yet transmuted your emo- 
 tions. You are still negative. You are still 
 being lived by outer influences instead of 
 positively living a life ruled by yourself, by 
 the SELF from within ! 
 
 What then ? 
 
 What can replace these things, which are 
 
now so coveted and without which existence 
 seems insipid. ... to you who do not know? 
 
 Fear not. 
 
 Life will not be prosaic where / can mani- 
 fest. I prompt no long-drawn faces; no 
 yawns of irksomeness; no faintness; no de- 
 pression; no attacks of melancholy. These 
 are themselves the outcome of your emo- 
 tionalism unwholesome as it is. They will 
 all be discarded when / come. 
 
 What is the song of birds to one who is 
 totally deaf? What, a glorious sunset to the 
 blind or spiritually blinded? Can Kaffirs 
 grasp an artist's ecstasy? Could you make 
 them understand, while they still lack the 
 needed faculties? 
 
 Neither, perhaps, will it be possible to 
 make the enrapturing joy of My exalted Race 
 comprehensible to you .... as long as you 
 lack Love and Purity. 
 
 All your emotional pleasures will be 
 looked upon as playthings, with which a 
 young humanity with its childlike conscious- 
 ness once amused itself. 
 
 Are you not longing for an expansion of 
 
your knowledge, for a capacity to be thrilled 
 by now unknown manifestations of life 
 around and within you ? Or would you, like 
 some children, rather cling to your toys? 
 Toys are quite useful as long as the mind 
 is weak. But if kept too long, they form 
 obstacles to further growth. So does the 
 unchecked play of your emotions : it hinders 
 your unfoldment 
 
 My Children will acquire that wider con- 
 sciousness, which brings with it a compre- 
 hension, now undreamt of, of other worlds 
 than yours; and a capability to approach the 
 cosmic consciousness, at present vaguely 
 sensed by only very few. This cosmic con- 
 sciousness is as far above your own, as yours 
 is beyond that of the atoms of which your 
 body is composed. 
 
 Expand your consciousness by purifying 
 your emotions. Help it to grow, to take in 
 more and more until, finally, it will be 
 cosmic. As it unfolds, you will begin to real- 
 ize the unity of all and that brings love for 
 all :of all, for all. 
 
 Then comes the happiness that never can 
 
be disturbed, and which makes all work a 
 joy. 
 
 The Coming Race will live in the greatest 
 joy: the joy of giving joy the purest of pure 
 emotions. 
 
 Emotion must not be killed but it should 
 be purified, transmuted, kept under strict 
 control .... under the control of SELF. 
 
 Balance must be acquired but not: indif- 
 ference. Balance is controlled emotion. 
 Destroyed emotion is indifference. 
 
 Have you compassion? Do you weep 
 with those who weep, and suffer with those 
 who suffer? And, in another hour, do you 
 laugh with those who laugh, and giggle with 
 those who giggle? Then, even your com- 
 passion is but a play of your emotions. 
 
 Become compassionate 1 Learn to under- 
 stand the cause of suffering. Look with the 
 greatest love with understanding love 
 upon the sufferers. Without yourself being 
 swept by your emotions: will to help. In- 
 tuitively you will know how. Console. Re- 
 lieve. Instruct. And bring good cheer. 
 
Help all you can. Respond to every call of 
 those who suffer. But never lose control of 
 your emotions. 
 
 Thus will you show true compassion and 
 balance .... without indifference. 
 
 Be ever more sensitive without being 
 sentimental. 
 
 Not: sensitive about things that bother 
 you! Offenses or neglects, unkindnesses, ill- 
 luck, losses, annoyances will not affect you 
 any more when you purify and master your 
 emotions. 
 
 But: sensitive for others, so that you may 
 understand and respond immediately to the 
 needs of your surroundings. This selfless 
 sensitiveness will naturally develop with the 
 growth of pure emotions. 
 
 The New Race will be super-sensitive 
 yet not emotional. 
 
 The higher sensitiveness will open up the 
 sensory organs to numberless new impres- 
 sions : to natural phenomena, in the existence 
 of which you now scarcely believe because 
 
 $8 
 
you are blind and deaf, your organs still unfit 
 to respond to a greater range of vibrations. 
 
 Things, now unseen, will become visible to 
 My Children : colors of indescribable beauty 
 and brilliancy will loom up before their eyes. 
 The harmony of the spheres will become 
 audible in music, free from the limitations of 
 physical instruments. Perfumes, delicious 
 and pure, will be found to fill the air. Things, 
 long heedlessly overlooked, will fascinate 
 man by their color, sound and scent. 
 
 Immeasurable treasures will Nature reveal 
 in limitless abundance to the Children of the 
 New Race. 
 
 That is: to you if you prepare for it, if 
 you purify your emotions. 
 
PURITY OF THOUGHTS 
 
 What would you do? 
 
 If you could see the thoughts of everyone 
 around you what would you do? 
 
 Be glad you do not see them ! Those con- 
 cerning you might seriously disturb your self- 
 sufficient complacency. And an unsuspected 
 knowledge of the thoughts of others about 
 their business and their private affairs might 
 lead you to a selfish abuse of such secret in- 
 formation. 
 
 Yet : you will see them when you come into 
 My Race ! But by that time you will have 
 lost all touch of selfishness. 
 
 If every thought of yours could be seen by 
 other people what would you do ? 
 
Would you want them to be seen ? Would 
 you dare to have them seen? I fear, you are 
 often glad in your conviction that others can 
 not see. 
 
 But : all will see your thoughts, in the New 
 Race! 
 
 If your every thought no matter on what 
 subject, however definite or vague could 
 now be seen by Those Who (though invisible 
 and perhaps unknown to you) are guiding 
 and teaching you, helping your evolution, 
 preparing you to become eligible candidates 
 for My noble, peerless Race .... what 
 would you do? 
 
 They do see them ! 
 
 And so do /. 
 
 It is upon the quality of your thoughts 
 more than upon anything else that you are 
 judged by Them. Essentially upon your 
 thoughts your very growth depends. The 
 amount of Love and Purity that you put into 
 your thoughts that will decide whether you 
 can pass into the Future Race. 
 
 92 
 
Your every thought is watched even the 
 faintest impulse of a thought is noted. And 
 every occurrence even the slightest incident 
 in your every-day life Is utilized as a test: 
 to see what kind of thought it will arouse; 
 for nothing and no one should have the power 
 to bring out undesirable thoughts in you. 
 
 The result is automatically registered, in- 
 delibly : each thought sets up vibrations in 
 superphysical matter, impressing upon it an 
 ever-lasting record, which is an open book to 
 Me. Many a page is soiled, unworthy, most 
 often worthless. In vain I look for definitely 
 pure and worthy, loving and constructive 
 thoughts which will help to bring humanity 
 nearer to the day on which I can manifest in 
 the magnificent New Race ! 
 
 How does your record stand? 
 What will you do to make it better? What 
 are you adding from hour to hour? 
 What will you do ? 
 
 You doubt My words? 
 
 That does not change the fact: that I do 
 
 93 
 
sec all your thoughts. Even your most secret 
 thoughts are not hidden from Me. Even 
 merely passing ones are noticeable to Me. I 
 see them, even before you have put them 
 through the process of shaping them in your 
 brain 1 
 
 For, in the spiritual realms where I 
 dwell thoughts, all your thoughts, are pal- 
 pable, tangible things. 
 
 Thoughts are things real things things 
 that you have created/ 
 
 In your little material world of deceptive 
 appearances, you judge each other almost ex- 
 clusively by the clothes you wear. And by a 
 shrewd selection of your garments, you try 
 to convince others that you are, what you are 
 not. 
 
 But to My eye you wear quite another 
 cloak! You are surrounded by the forms, 
 created by your thoughts. That is the garb 
 which you make for yourself, into which you 
 weave every thread, draw every design, 
 frame every pattern. That is the apparel 
 
which shows what you really are. 
 
 And what an object it presents, of most of 
 you! 
 
 A shapeless, slovenly bundle of dirty rags, 
 of unattractive, muddy colors, patched and 
 pinned together without any apparent plan, 
 with far too many "I's" and grasping hooks 
 and full of holes and gaps, showing the 
 emptiness of your existence, your lack of 
 thought. 
 
 Such is the attire in which you show your- 
 self to Me and to all those who can see. 
 
 In the New Race all will see. But none 
 will enter it, who have not changed their robe 
 making it presentable and pleasing to the 
 clear-seeing eye. None but those who have 
 purified their thoughts, and ensouled them 
 with love, will be admitted into My Race of 
 the Future. 
 
 By your thoughts you create your own fu- 
 ture : what you think, you will be/ 
 
 By concentrated thought you create a form 
 of what you wish to become. After this pat- 
 
tern, if you make it strong enough, you 
 your conditions and your body will be 
 shaped. 
 
 This is a dangerous knowledge. For you 
 want things selfishly. Your desire is to be 
 rich, or famous : to shine, to stand out above 
 your fellows in power, wealth, learning, or 
 artistic ability. And you want even spiritual- 
 ity .... only to be more than others. 
 
 Therefore, a practical knowledge of the 
 creative power of thought is being withheld 
 from you. You would utilize it for selfish 
 purposes. And so you would retard your 
 evolution and that of humanity, of which 
 each one of you is an integral part. You 
 would intensify the hampering influence of 
 the 'self and thus prevent the coming into 
 expression of the SELF. 
 
 Once you are selfless once you are less a 
 slave to your paltry little 'self you will 
 learn how to create instantaneously and visi- 
 bly by thought. This, the Children of My 
 Race will have learned to do. Their knowl- 
 edge will be applied only for others 9 sake 
 never for their own. 
 
 96 
 
All of them will be artists in that new 
 art : the making of exquisite thoughts, which 
 everyone else, with the sense of clearer sight, 
 will be able to enjoy. 
 
 More beautiful than the greatest treasures 
 of art, now kept in your museums and stored 
 away in private galleries, will be their works 
 produced by all, for all. 
 
 Thought is the ultimate creative power. 
 
 Sound creates in physical matter; but wise, 
 thoughtful beings first consciously think 
 they first consciously create by thought, in 
 subtler matter, that which will serve as a 
 model for their physical creations. 
 
 The Great Power Who created the uni- 
 verse, created it by thought before, by His 
 spoken Word, He brought it down into physi- 
 cal manifestation. If you consider yourself 
 to be made in His image do as He did : and 
 think .... before you speak. 
 
 First in the realm of thought are made the 
 archetypes for all things physical in the 
 Macrocosm. So do you, by your thoughts, 
 
create the patterns for all that will occur in 
 your future microcosm. 
 
 Strong, definite, oft repeated thoughts 
 build living entities even though you see 
 them not. If you nourish them, and give 
 them regular attention, they will do obedi- 
 ently what you charge them to do. What- 
 ever quality of hate or love, of healing or 
 destruction you put into them, will be their 
 motive power, their actual life force. 
 
 Strong thoughts are rare and fortu- 
 nately so : if there were many, the evil, grasp- 
 ing, selfish ones would far outnumber the un- 
 selfish. 
 
 Such is the present race. But in the New, 
 rid of all selfishness, all will know how to 
 build beneficent, entrancing forms. 
 
 You think no vitally harmful, no vio- 
 lently hateful, not even essentially self-seek- 
 ing thoughts, do you? Just a perpetual suc- 
 cession of the smallest, faintest thoughts of 
 personal criticisms, of personal dislikes, of 
 trivial personal wishes .... are these your 
 
average thoughts? They may seem harm- 
 less but they do not build a world in which 
 / can manifest ! 
 
 After all, they are more harmful than you 
 now realize. 
 
 These countless millions of diminutive 
 vague thoughts, continually sent out by most 
 of you, are by the Law that like attracts 
 like drawn to each other. They strengthen 
 one the other, forming what might be called : 
 great reservoirs of force. 
 
 These good or bad when filled to over- 
 flowing, empty themselves upon humanity. 
 Rarely is one containing love and kindness 
 filled to the point where it is ready for dis- 
 tribution. But frequently contents of a less 
 enjoyable nature are poured out. Then 
 comes catastrophe or epidemic, pestilence or 
 war. All are of man's own making: result- 
 ing from his thoughts. Each person receives 
 what he himself has put in by the accumula- 
 tion of his own thoughtless thinking, of his 
 own unchecked thoughts. 
 
Not till you purify your thoughts will 
 these horrors cease. 
 
 Not till you leave all harmful elements, all 
 selfish proclivities out of your thoughts, will 
 suffering and sorrow be no more attracted by 
 you. 
 
 Not till determinedly you direct the pure 
 power of your thoughts towards the helping 
 of others, can I manifest in you. 
 
 Not till there is Purity in your every deed, 
 in your every word, and in your every thought 
 will where you are the Coming Race be 
 born. 
 
EPILOGUE 
 
Exalted and exultant beyond the 
 most fanciful visions of today's 
 idealists^ will be My radiant Race 
 which soon will be established. 
 
THE PRESENT RACE AND THE NEW 
 
 I am no dreamer , visualizing things as they 
 might be ! I know what is to be I 
 
 Behind some dreamers of Utopias I stood, 
 inspiring them, guiding their thoughts that 
 through their works the world might see the 
 future, and exert its efforts to approach the 
 day when I shall come to establish the New 
 Race. 
 
 My hints they worked out according to 
 their viewpoint and used them to support 
 that single fraction of the Truth which they 
 had recognized. 
 
 But now / speak Myself, with definite 
 knowledge of what is planned to be of what 
 already is in the Universal Mind, existing 
 
 105 
 
even now in the highest realms of thought, 
 which to My vision are more real than trees 
 and stones to yours. 
 
 I am not merely 'dreaming', when I speak 
 of the Coming Race I, who am the Spirit 
 of that Race I 
 
 But on you, the people of today, on you 
 it will depend when it will be established 
 when, with its joy and peace, its splendor, its 
 unequalled happiness, it will come down into 
 physical expression. 
 
 I, Spirit of the Unborn, have indicated 
 in My Plea for Purify some of the changes, 
 essentially needed in preparing the world, 
 and yourselves, for the New Race. 
 
 Now I shall synthesize the differences be- 
 tween the present race and My Race of 
 tomorrow. 
 
 The keynote of the present race is: to 
 HAVE ; that of the New : to BE. 
 
 You try to obtain, be it for the benefit of 
 yourself or for others, whatever of outer things 
 
may seem desirable. But no matter what you 
 possess it can be lost again, and will be lost, 
 sooner or later. 
 
 Try to become help others to become, to 
 build into themselves eternal qualities: the 
 only things that never can be lost. Then will 
 you help the coming of the New Race. 
 
 The present race seeks to GRASP ; the New 
 will live to GIVE. 
 
 Large incomes, high positions, accumula- 
 tion of private property, personal satisfaction 
 that is what all the world is seeking in these 
 days. 'Giving* is looked upon as 'sacrifice 1 , 
 as 'renunciation* and whenever it is prac- 
 tised, it is usually prompted by the hope of 
 some return. 
 
 In My Race, 'giving* will be the general ex- 
 only things that never can be lost. Then will 
 be their keenest joy. 
 
 The watchword of the present race is: 
 COMPETITION; that of the New will be 
 
 CO-OPERATION. 
 
 Beginning in your schools, the training is: 
 to outrival the other student, in learning, in 
 sport. And all through life this system is kept 
 up: put others into the shade, compete. 
 
 Life-poisoning competition has done its share 
 in the plan of evolution: in helping to develop 
 
 107- 
 
the concrete mind. But this is not the highest 
 that humanity can gain ! 
 
 With the New Race comes transmuted com- 
 petition : there, all will vie in giving others what 
 they would most desire for themselves. Each, 
 knowing that he shares the One Life with his 
 brothers, will do his utmost for the common 
 good. Without reserve, all will whole-hearted- 
 ly co-operate. 
 
 The present race is DESTRUCTIVE ; the New 
 
 Will be CONSTRUCTIVE. 
 
 Watch children: how almost without ex- 
 ception they enjoy destroying things. Adults 
 encourage them, and eagerly assist in destruc- 
 tion of living things. The propensity is checked 
 
 by rules of propriety, and, mainly, of 
 
 police. 
 
 By his injurious emanations, man has es- 
 tranged the many ethereal, now invisible beings 
 who exist and evolve alongside him. He has 
 filled them with distrust, disgust. The New 
 Race will be harmless and helpful to all that 
 co-exists thereby regaining the kind assistance 
 of the nature-spirits, who will beautify the 
 world, accomplishing their joyous task before 
 the purified eye of man. 
 
 The elements themselves will co-operate with 
 man, and will no more destroy by cyclones, 
 earthquakes, floods, or fire, by extremes of heat 
 
 101 
 
and cold what man has wrought. All these 
 catastrophes are caused by man himself: result- 
 ing from his destructive attitude towards 
 nature, as well as from his thoughts. 
 
 In the New Race, new inventions will 
 utilize enormous powers which will be revealed 
 in nature and in man; and these will be avail- 
 able for great constructive work. They are still 
 kept unknown, because under the control of a 
 destructive race they would be dangerous. 
 
 SEX-CONTRAST is a mighty factor in the 
 present race ; in the New Race, SEX-EQUALITY 
 will prevail. 
 
 The mystification of the process of reproduc- 
 tion; the secrecy attached to natural forms; 
 unwarranted prudishness and pseudo ignor- 
 ance ; the over-accentuation of sex difference in 
 dress, in education, in mannerism all these 
 promote furtive thoughts and stealthy whisper- 
 ings concerning sexology fomenting sen- 
 suality, refined as it may be. 
 
 In My luminous Race, sex will be recog- 
 nized as a minor incident. There will be little 
 difference in dress, in expression even in char- 
 acter : both sexes will more equally manifest the 
 highest that is now in each. 
 
 KNOWLEDGE, scientific knowledge, is the 
 glory of the present race; but in the New, 
 
 109 
 
WISDOM will be supreme. 
 
 Science, however admirable, deals with the 
 outer, with the phenomenal side. It is a slow, 
 slow process towards the heart of things! Not 
 from the outside in but from the inside out, 
 is wisdom's way. 
 
 Within is the One Life. Seek to know that! 
 Turn your attention within yourself: you can 
 find it there. That same Life manifests in 
 others, and is the motive power in all nature's 
 phenomena. Once you attain a realization of 
 it which can be done by utmost Purity you 
 know the cause, the how and why of every- 
 thing: perfected wisdom will include all 
 knowledge. 
 
 The present race is led by INTELLECT; the 
 Coming will be led by INTUITION. 
 
 Intellectuality is the ability to conceive in- 
 telligently the actualities in the world around 
 you as far as they can be observed by your 
 defective and imperfect instruments and organs 
 of perception. It depends entirely upon im- 
 pressions on the brain from the outside. 
 
 Whereas intuition is tuition from within: 
 it brings the unlimited, true knowledge of the 
 SELF. When you completely open yourself to it, 
 you will know all there is to know in the entire 
 universe. For, in your SELF, you can share the 
 
 no 
 
consciousness of all, and of the ALL in your 
 SELF you are One with all. 
 
 The present race has RELIGIONS; the New 
 will have RELIGION. 
 
 Religions are the garments in which the Di- 
 vine has sheathed Itself in order to remain 
 perceptible to the spiritually blinded eyes of 
 human souls. And as the soul-eyes differed 
 so has Divinity shown Itself in different cloaks. 
 
 But true religion enables man to see through 
 every garment, perceiving the Divine in Its 
 Purity within: the Same in all manifesting 
 not alone in Its garments of religions, but in 
 everything, and everywhere. 
 
 In the New Race, the true meaning of reli- 
 gion: the reunion of man with God, will be 
 fully understood and this reunion will be ac- 
 complished by each one of My Children indi- 
 vidually and directly without the need 
 
 of doctrines, dogmas, rites or creeds. 
 
 The present race is surrounded by UGLI- 
 NESS; in BEAUTY will the New one be 
 enveloped. 
 
 Your standard of beauty is guided by cost 
 and rarity: most of the articles you value for 
 their 'beauty', you would not deign to look upon 
 if they were cheap, if they could be possessed 
 
 ill- 
 
by everyone. Your preference for the beauti- 
 ful is, as a rule, a seeking of personal gratifica- 
 tion and grossly selfish. 
 
 In the New Race, art and beauty will be a 
 result of inner purity instead of having for 
 their aim, as they now do, the demonstration of 
 outer superiority. 
 
 It is beauty of the senses which is sought by 
 the present race; but in the New, the beauty 
 of the spirit will be predominant. Soul beauty 
 will find expression in feature and in form, in 
 gracefully rhythmic motions, in pleasing, melo- 
 dious voices and in kind, loving acts. The 
 beauty attained within will cause all outer ob- 
 jects to be beautiful. 
 
 Not by contemptuously shunning, not by 
 repugnantly repelling from your presence all 
 that is still ugly, can the beauty of My Race 
 be gained : only by purifying, only by beauti- 
 fying one's inner nature can it be acquired. 
 
 When that is achieved, the uely can no more 
 exist. Then, nature itself will be magnificent 
 as it has never been because man will no 
 longer interfere with the work of its agents. It 
 will open up its hidden garners and spread its 
 treasures of unexampled beauty over the earth. 
 And the radiance of good cheer and of su- 
 preme enjoyment will be on every face: on 
 yours, when you will be reborn into My re- 
 splendent Race or, on yours now, if you pre- 
 
 1J2 
 
pare yourself to be selected as one of those 
 who will lay the foundation for that Race. 
 
 The present race stoops under a load of 
 SUFFERING; the New, with lifted head, will 
 reflect the light from heaven, which is the 
 purest JOY. 
 
 Stop causing your own misery by self-cen- 
 teredness, by shutting off your 'self* from the 
 joy-giving luminosity of the SELF! 
 
 More radiant than the sun's beams is the 
 SELF. Let it shine within you, and enlighten you 
 filling with its great and imperturbable joy 
 all the dark chambers in your being. It will 
 do that if you cleanse the windows, and do 
 not keep the shades and shutters of your selfish 
 separateness closed. It will if you concen- 
 trate your efforts, and thoroughly purify 
 yourself. 
 
 This is why I plead with you: that even 
 now your suffering may be lightened, and that 
 you may begin to know the all-surpassing joy 
 in which the New Race will live. 
 
 The present race is marked by SEPARATE- 
 NESS; the New will be distinguished by 
 UNITY. 
 
 Each one now prides himself on what he has 
 
 that others do not have and attention is given 
 
 US 
 
exclusively to differences in possessions, in race, 
 in dress, ability, political convictions and reli- 
 gious beliefs. 
 
 My Race seeks that which unites. And as 
 each one will realize that he himself, that his 
 own inner SELF, his Life, is God and that all 
 else that lives is himself, because it is in essence 
 the same SELF, the same Life, the same God 
 none can any longer feel interests separate from 
 those of others. 
 
 Try to realize now: that you really are the 
 others! 
 
 The present race is ATTACHED; the New 
 
 will be DETACHED. 
 
 Attached to physical forms and formalities, 
 to outer appearances, is present humanity. 
 Even in its friendships, in its love, it clings to 
 the matter side. 
 
 The New Race will know the spirit side of 
 all manifestation: it will deal with the eternal. 
 Therefore, it will be detached, freed from the 
 deceptive ties of temporary objects, freed from 
 the fear of losing whatever it may have and 
 hence free from all fear. 
 
 The present race is PERSONAL; the New 
 will be IMPERSONAL. 
 
 Your personality is considered all-important: 
 its wants, its wishes, its opinions, its interests, 
 
 -414 
 
its well-being these fill your life, your 
 thoughts. 
 
 As yet, it seems almost useless to speak to 
 you of your Impersonality of the One SELF 
 within yourself, which links you up with all! 
 
 My Race will be free from the despotism of 
 the selfish, personal 'self acknowledging 
 alone the absolute supremacy of the selfless, 
 and impersonal GREAT SELF. 
 
 LIMITATION holds the present race in 
 bounds; Mine, throwing off all shackles, will 
 attain to LIBERATION. 
 
 Imprisoned, vastly limited are you in your 
 SELF-expression even if you know it not! 
 Your selfishness restrains you; your materialis- 
 tic intellect confines you ; your separative prin- 
 ciples entomb the real 'You*. 
 
 By subjugation of your 'self, unfetter your 
 true SELF! Then you will triumph over every 
 limitation and, as a member of My mighty 
 Race, reach liberation from all ignorance, all 
 suffering, all woe. 
 
 Break away from the detention of the involu- 
 tioning SELF in the manyness of 'selves' and 
 consciously share the Oneness of the evolu- 
 tioncd, liberated SELF! 
 
These few points of contrast indicate the 
 trend of My New Race and what it will 
 mean to you if you can enter it. 
 
 Then you will realize that all the world 
 is you. 
 
 Then you will be at-one with every living 
 creature, with everything that is : with sky 
 and trees and ocean, with elements, with 
 insects, birds and beasts, with fellowmen, 
 with gods and, yes : with God. 
 
 Then you will know that you are immortal 
 that you have always been, and will never 
 cease to be. 
 
 Then you will consciously feel the power 
 of God pass through you to others and pour 
 out the divine Life in all its greatness and 
 its glory over others. 
 
 Then you will be aware that there is a 
 never-ending unfoldment of Divinity in you, 
 in ail; that a greater, and ever greater ex- 
 pansion an unlimited succession of incom- 
 parable and wonderful attainments lie 
 before you. 
 
 Then you will find yourself receptive to 
 
sensations, such as a little human soul can 
 scarcely comprehend and in comparison 
 with which all that is now considered 'hap- 
 piness' sinks into nothingness. 
 
 This is the promise for My triumphant 
 Race! 
 
UNIVERSAL LOVE 
 
 Love is the uniting power of the Great 
 Cosmic Magnet. 
 
 Whatever is, is a particle of that Magnet: 
 apart from It yet always held bound to It 
 by this inherent faculty of Love. 
 
 Be it only manifest in the form of cohe- 
 sion, of gravity, of chemical affinity it is 
 the same uniting force of Love. Be it greed, 
 or longing, or personal attraction it is the 
 working of the same principle: a leaning 
 towards unity with something else. 
 
 It is true: many an atom seems sadly de- 
 magnetized because by cold men- 
 tality it has gone far away from the Great 
 Magnet; because it has shrunk into the form 
 
 119 
 
of a closed circle, keeping the current flowing 
 within itself, wholly self-centered, loving only 
 the own 'self. 
 
 But every fragment gradually unfolds its 
 
 inborn quality into pure self-forgetting, 
 
 personal love. As it evolves its inner power, 
 it is lifted up in the direction of its Source; 
 so it will reach the point where the direct 
 current of the Great Magnet is near enough 
 to fill it with Its own original potency: of 
 universal Love. 
 
 Pure personal love is the ultimate accom- 
 plishment of your race. 
 
 When you enter into the stream of uni- 
 versal Love, you enter into My Race. 
 
 All personal love is limited, exclusive 
 hence an imperfect demonstration of divine 
 
 Love. But do not underestimate the 
 
 value it has for you ; do not be misled by the 
 fallacious thought : that you can rise above it 
 by ignoring its exalting influence. 
 
 Only by the perfecting of the highest 
 personal love, can you be lifted up to where 
 
 120 
 
the constant current of universal Love can 
 touch and flow through^ you. 
 
 Great personal love is gradually developed 
 by memories of happiness , shared in the past 
 with the beloved ones, strengthened through 
 many lives, growing from selfish passion into 
 wwselfish, pure be it still : personal love. 
 
 While it evolves, one learns to share lov- 
 ingly the sorrows of the beloved. Out of 
 this, corn-passion grows by which the power 
 is acquired to feel with, and in others, more 
 and more. 
 
 Both the compassion and the personal 
 love must by your efforts be intensified, 
 augmented to the highest attainable degree, 
 in order to prepare you for the influx of the 
 
 universal Love and, thereby, for My 
 
 Race. 
 
 Perfect, unlimited, all-inclusive is univer- 
 sal Love. When it becomes manifest in you, 
 all are as near to you as the dearest you love 
 now. And it expands until, without distinc- 
 
 111 
 
tion, you love all until you have fully real- 
 ized that all are only One, that all are 'You*. 
 
 Universal Love is not: the personal love, 
 parcelled out in negligible minims to every 
 creature not : personal love, diluted into in- 
 different kindness for all, without brotherli- 
 ness for any. 
 
 It is: a new outpouring of Divinity in 
 you; the acquisition of a wider conscious- 
 ness, at the point where you can step out 
 of the present race into My spiritualized 
 Race where you can break the shell that 
 limits full-grown humanity, in order to enter 
 into the infancy of super-humanity. 
 
PERFECT PURITY 
 
 For Purity for perfect Purity have I, 
 the Spirit of the Unborn, been pleading with 
 you, in order that My Race of a purified 
 humanity may come into manifested exist- 
 ence. 
 
 Soon I shall select a few of you to estab- 
 lish it in a secluded place where conditions 
 will be ideally suitable. Some I have found 
 who are ready; more I expect to find in the 
 near future. But not until a sufficient number 
 is prepared, can My Race be founded defi- 
 nitely, as a segregated unit. 
 
 I have therefore come to lay before you 
 all those qualities which will be indispensable 
 
if you wish to join the early settlement of the 
 New Race. 
 
 Purity and Love are the fundamental 
 needs not only for admission into My Race ; 
 for in the course of time no one can progress 
 very far without Love and Purity! 
 
 The purity that I require is one, not only 
 of deeds, but of every word and thought; 
 and not only of your thoughts, but of your 
 very being, of your whole nature ! So pure 
 you must be, that not any influence from the 
 outside can awaken an undesirable response 
 in you. 
 
 This may seem almost impossible for any- 
 one of you to attain perfectly. But if you 
 strive and refuse to be ruled, even for a 
 single moment, by other principles than those 
 of Purity and of Love then you will see 
 improvement from day to day; and the ten- 
 dency to yield to less worthy influences will 
 rapidly lose its hold upon you. Thus will 
 you become a candidate for My Race. 
 
 124 
 
Has it no attraction for you? Does it ap- 
 pear to you as if devoid of interest, monoto- 
 nous, nonsensical, absurd? Only the nar- 
 row-minded can thus misjudge what in the 
 course of evolution in the growth of con- 
 sciousness, of liberty, of joy still awaits 
 them. 
 
 All will attain some time. The choice 7 
 bring is this : will you grow willingly, helping 
 the cosmic Law, and hastening evolution or 
 blindly struggle on, unknowingly, even unwil- 
 lingly, and remaining so much longer in the 
 misery of your half-evolved stage ? 
 
 I, the Spirit of the Unborn, have come to 
 call for aspirants for the Coming Race I 
 
 I am the Spirit of that Race and I am 
 even more. I am the Spirit of the New 
 Race and of all beings. I AM the SPIRIT! 
 
 But I have spoken only in this one aspect: 
 as Spirit of the Unborn because for their, 
 as well as for your sake, the New Race must 
 soon be born. 
 
 125 
 
I have not called in vain ! 
 
 I have not called without arousing some of 
 you to the significance of what I have stated: 
 that a New Race is about to be established. 
 
 What I want every one to know what I 
 have wanted you to know and understand 
 all through this message is: 
 
 that the Unborn of a New Ideal Race are 
 ready for your world, when you are ready 
 for them; 
 
 that they will come, when you prepare 
 their way; 
 
 that they are waiting for purer bodies, for 
 purer surroundings, for purer parents, and 
 for purer Love ; 
 
 that they will incarnate, as soon as you 
 are pure; 
 
 and that you yourself can enter My New 
 Race when you steadily strive for perfect 
 PURITY. 
 
I AM WAITING !
